Passwords are frustrating. Whether it’s forgetting, resetting, or getting locked out, we’ve all been there.
And without a password manager to help, passwords can also make you vulnerable to data breaches, putting your sensitive information at a huge risk.
That’s why we’re all-in on passkeys, a way for you to create and sign in to online accounts without a password.
We’ve been busy since we first mentioned passkeys in mid-2022, like working on offering the ability to import and export passkeys, partnering with Microsoft on an integration that will soon allow customers to save and store passkeys with 1Password on Windows 11, and helping businesses support passkeys on their apps and websites with Passage by 1Password.
And there’s more!
Let’s take a look at what we’ve accomplished on the road to a truly passwordless future:
Passkeys by the numbers
As a leading third-party passkey provider since launching passkeys, millions of 1Password customers are creating, saving, and signing in with passkeys. In fact, we’ve seen over 4.2 million passkeys saved in 1Password, and that number continues to grow every day.
1Password sees the highest spikes in adoption when another large platform announces passkey support, and many well-known websites, apps, and services are adding the option of passwordless authentication every day. For instance, when X (formerly Twitter) announced global passkey support on iOS, 89,953 new passkeys were created and saved in 1Password within the same week.
But it doesn’t stop there. Since 1Password first launched passkeys in September 2023, we’ve seen:
- 4.2M passkeys saved in 1Password.
- 15.4M passkeys autofilled by 1Password.
- Averaging over 2.1M passkey authentications per month.
- On average, every 1 in 3.4 customers using the extension has at least one passkey stored in 1Password!
- Of 1Password passkey customers, 73% are consumer accounts and 27% are business accounts.
- 206 companies have added a passkey log-in option, doubling since last year. Check out our directory for the full list of websites that support passkeys.
These adoption metrics aren’t just a major milestone for 1Password because we’re at the forefront of passwordless advocacy. It’s a testament to the trust our customers place in 1Password to provide secure and reliable passkey support.
As members of the FIDO Alliance, we’re committed to help even more individuals and businesses move away from passwords and embrace a safer and simpler future without them.
Why passkeys?
Everyone is used to needing passwords for almost everything online, but the security landscape is changing. Passkeys come with more benefits than traditional passwords, and they’re another step toward uncomplicating the process of digital security.
Easily sign into apps, sites, and services: Passkeys aren’t just secure – they’re really convenient to use, too. You don’t have to manually create a traditional password, so there’s no two-factor authentication, nothing to memorize, and nothing to type! When you want to sign in, you just verify your identity using biometrics (like Face ID or your fingerprint) or by entering your device’s password or PIN.
Get the best line of defense for you or your organization: Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys are resistant to phishing because the underlying private key never leaves your device. That makes them resistant to social engineering scams, too.
Enjoy passkey peace of mind: Rest easy knowing that your passkeys are even more protected thanks to 1Password’s unique, industry-leading security model and recovery options. Plus, our experts are always on hand to help you when you need it.
